Confess your sins, Then Teach Computer Science! Exploring the Marxist Religion of Progressivism!

Faculty hiring at the University of Washington now hinges on mandatory DEI statements, an ideological loyalty oath disguised as progress.

A professor has revealed the underlying issues of Marxist progressives at the university, stating in an interview that the institution assesses your diversity score prior to considering your qualifications. Another confirmed that applicants are required to specify what actions they have taken for black people recently, not in a metaphorical sense, but in a literal one.

Similar to many marxist progressive institutions of higher learning, the university seeks followers rather than independent thinkers, similar to how Can'tpakes and Gunnar align themselves with the progressive ideology. If you challenge the established beliefs, you risk being labeled a threat to equity.

With each passing day, it becomes increasingly evident that Marxist progressivism resembles a religious cult. I am eager to delve deeper into this issue. In the meantime, here’s an interview featuring a professor discussing how the university inquired about what professors have done for the black community recently; it’s quite troubling. This is a clear indication that racism still persists within the Democrat party.

It sounds like the meaning of Marxist is an individual who went to school past high school and who actually reads books.

I don’t believe that Hound knows what the term means.

I agree.

Prove us wrong, HoH. Tell us what you mean by Marxism, using English words to construct sentences like this:
Marxism, as I use the term, refers to <explanation here>
Off you go!

Hey, this could be kind of fun.

I have some answers ready if Hound insists on cowering silently in the bushes. : D

Perhaps the idea is Marxists are people who sometimes complain that some rich people have too much power and too little social responsibility. There is a bunch of that sort of thing in the Bible which may be why Hound thinks it's a religion. The complaint has not been limited to the Bible however. Others have complained over the centuries.

Most people think of Marxism as specific responses to the complaint. I do not think Hound is using the label that way.

It really seems to me that to MAGA conservatives anything that doesn't continually add to the further enrichment of the already ultra-wealthy at the cost of further impoverishing the least wealthy is Marxism.

No precept or claim is more suspect or more likely to be false than one that can only be supported by invoking the claim of Divine authority for it--no matter who or what claims such authority.

Hound is on public assistance?

Is there some self-flagellation going on here?

I don't even think it's that specific. To MAGAtes, who understand the nuance of almost nothing, Marxism is anything they don't like.

I don't like what you said... what'er you... a Marxist? We don't take kindly t' Marxists 'round here...

Dumb people need any handle they can get.
Religion is for people whose existential fear is greater than their common sense.

The god idea is popular with desperate people.
